THOMASVILLE, Pa. (WHTM) -
A 38-year-old California man has died in a plane crash near the York Airport in Thomasville.
Brian Robertson, of Huntington Beach, was the only person on board the plane when it went down about a mile south of the airport, in a farm field near Martin Road in Jackson Township, at around 5:30 p.m. Thursday.
According to a witness, the twin-engine plane - a corporate-type Cessna Conquest - was approaching the airport and lost power to an engine before it spiraled to the ground.
abc27 News has learned Robertson contacted the airport to advise of his approach when he was about 20 miles away.
He later made a second call to the airport to report that the plane had lost one of its engines.
